On this day, 30 freshmen from the Department of Yeongdeok Regional Care, along with about 350 freshmen from other departments, participated in a 2-day, 1-night entrance ceremony and orientation, nurturing their hopeful dreams for campus life.

The Department of Yeongdeok Regional Care was newly established last May based on an MOU signed between Yeongdeok County and Daegu Haany University. It is a regionally specialized department that operates various programs tailored to the local situation and characteristics to address issues of population decline and aging.

Accordingly, freshmen will receive education to acquire practical qualifications recognized in the industry, such as caregiver and social worker certifications, within the four-year university degree program.

In particular, for Yeongdeok County residents, Yeongdeok County provides 500,000 KRW each semester, Daegu Haany University covers 50% of the tuition, and the remainder can be supported by national scholarships based on income, allowing students to obtain their degree with up to a full scholarship.

County Governor Kim Gwang-yeol encouraged and supported the students, saying, “I hope you grow and develop together with the local community in the region’s care field while nurturing your dreams and hopes. We will continue to support lifelong education to meet the diverse educational demands required by the times.”
